<span style='color:red'>This year, we have secured 40 tickets to the Monday, May 28 game against the Indians and 40 tickets to the Tuesday, Sept. 4 game against Toronto. The Cleveland game on Memorial Day (May 28) will mark the return of favorite Dirt Dog Trot Nixon. Both games are 7:05 p.m.

As always, one of the benefits of supporterdom is that you guys/gals get first crack at the tickets. I'll keep this thread only in the clubhouse for a few days, then open it up to the heathens. Let's try to sell some tickets quickly so I can recoup my personal investment. The price includes a contribution to rent a room at Boston Billiards before the game to get everyone together.

The first interested parties to post in this thread will get the tickets. Please heed all the instructions below:</span>

Tickets: Rightfield bleachers.
Ticket price: $35 ($23.10 cost, plus $1 Sox surcharge, plus money for postage and envelopes and pre-game outing)
Dates: Monday, May 28, vs. Cleveland Indians (7:05 p.m.) OR Tuesday, Sept. 4 vs. Toronto Blue Jays (7:05 p.m.)
Special Instructions: Please please please put your RSN.Net screen name and which game you want to buy tickets for along with real name and address in the "screen name/real name/address" box when you pay via PayPal (it's below the financial info).
Snail Mail Payment: PM MALC for instructions, but still post in the thread to reserve your spot in "line".

While the temptation to simply avoid you clowns is definitely there, I'll take one for each.

Just paypalled you for two tickets to the May game. I'm still unsure about September, but hopefully I'll have that resolved soon!

Screw it. I'll tak two each to both outings. I don't care if one is during the week. I'll just have to take some time off of work to get up there. I'll be going the snail mail route.

I'd like 2 for the May game, but I keep getting an error screen when I try to PayPal...

Put me down for 2 for the May 28th game. Welcome back Trotter game!!

Thanks
-Rem

I would like to take 2 tickets to the May 28th game, no doubt.

I am undecided at the moment about the September game as I may have a conflict. I'd love to go if possible, but not sure I will know the deal before the tickets are gone. If anyone wants to keep me in mind as a backup for September, that would be great.

I'll be getting at least two tickets to the May game. Just need to confirm how many friends want to go and such.

I'll be at both outings again unless something else comes up.

By the way, it was rather annoying that I couldn't change the "quantity" on the order form. /nitpick

I'm not sure why that's not changeable. I think it was, last year.

Anyhow, just put in the dollar amount of $35 x # of tix, and I'll figure it out.

Put me down for one ticket for each game for now, I may pick up an extra for each later on if my girlfriend wants to go, but it might be tough for her during the week. I'll pay through Paypal either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Put me down for two tickets to each event. Paypal coming shortly.

Edit: Paypal sent. 35 * 2 tickets * 2 events = 140 smacks.

I forgot to specify that I wanted both games in the paypal so good luck with that.

And thanks a bunch for going through this hassle MALC. You definitely should not need to be paying for any drinks at either event. I will be buying you a round or two.

Gerky, when isn't it up?

Good point. I think you found that out last year when you, me, and Annie were on the couch together at Boston Billiards. Ooo lala.

Speaking of hotness, is jenny coming?

Amen to that, brother!


That's OK, Craig. Imaginary people don't need tickets.

Two for the September game for me.

Har har har...you would have met her had you come out for a night on the town with a bunch of us after the last outing, not my fault you had your priorities backwards and chose to go home and 'take care of the kids' instead...

EDIT: Paypal sent.

I can vouch for you, Craig. And I think MALC will agree you done quite good.

And no, she wasn't inflatable.

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Just tell me which country's mail-order catalog you got her from, and I'll send her agency an apology.

Seriously, Craig. A half-drunk man with a 2.5-hour drive needs to go home to his wife and take care of some family business, head of household-style. You'll see one day, when you finally order or inflate Mrs. Right.

Mark me down for at least 2 for each. I'll figure out exact numbers when I get back home from Scotland.

haggis will make it this year, I PROMISE!

MALC, mark me down for two tickets in May. The foxxette and I will be there.

Mish, you better make it; I owe you a round of Knob Creek.

MALC are there tickets left for the May game ??

Ok, Ok, 1 ticket for May for me please and thank you.

A "round of knob" will often entice someone to come...

I'm glad Mish will be there.

1 for september for me. Can't make the May one...

I'll take two to each, already have some for the 9/5 game so I'll be up for some weeknight partying!!! Payment forthcoming.

Plenty left for each game. Reserve away.

MALC--May tickets, please. (2)

I should all ready have 2 to each reserved, but just as a reminder: dibs.

I'll shoot you the rest of the money soon.

Alright folks. I have 31 tickets reserved out of 40 available for the May 28 game. Send those payments in ASAP so I can pay off my credit card.

We have only 21 tickets reserved out of 40 available for the September 4 game. Chop-chop.

I'm going to open up a thread in ON THE FIELD and open the tix up to the masses. First come first serve.

may i reserve two for 9/4 please?.....

Holy shit, CJ on the East Coast? I better pick a date fast so I can know if I'm coming to this shindig or not

i had a ticket last year too but couldn't make it and simply donated it back to the board....in all likelyhood the same will occur again this season as there is a huge tournament here over labor day weekend (U15 National Championships) and i'll probably be asked to work it....

but i can dream, can't i?

CJ, we can only hope that God intervenes and you can attend the game. I will reserve two in your name, and hope you can make it.

Still trying to work out the schedule for September (that weekend) - I'll get back to you by the end of the week Corey but hopefully I'll have a few coming. Thanks.

I'd like to reserve 2 tickets to both games if available. Thanks.

right now it looks like i can fly in (JetBlue willing) the night before......fingers remain crossed....

Are there any tickets left for May? I can't be sure right now but I'll know by next weekend when my brother comes home. Thinking of taking him to Fenway as his 21st birthday present taking him and one of his friends to the outing...plus it gives me an excuse to go.

I've already got tickets to the May game (pavilion SRO), if I toss a couple dollars the boards way, can I take part in the pre-game festivities?

I keep threatening to make of these and I do so again: two reservations for September, please. At worst, I'll subsidize someone's PayPay fees like I did last year when I gave up my tickets.

Yep. I'll mark you down for two, and you can just let me know if it's a "no-go."


No problem. You can just give me some cash at the outing itself. That'll be easier.


LoS, you're in for two to the September game. We'll figure out who you'll be subsidizing in late August.

I just paid for two for the Sept. outing. I hope I did it correctly, PayPal wasn't behaving "normally".

So, I'll be back in town and ready for another Rooter Outing (God help me). Not sure where I'm staying yet. I would really like to not have to stay at the HoJo's. That place is really getting depressing. It's just that the location is so damn good.

Edit: I just decided I'm definitely not staying at the HoJo's this year. Me and Meg are going to stay at the Hotel Commonwealth. It looks pretty nice on the website. Anybody have any opinions?

Ritzy. Enough so that - IIRC - when a car drove through the lobby (by a valet) at ~2 they had completely replaced the glass by the 6 o'clock news.

The Colonnade in Boston was out-effin-standing when I stayed there. They treat you like royalty. It's not far from the park either.

The Hotel Buckminster is the oddest hotel I have ever stayed in. Sure that has nothing to do with what you asked, but I'm just throwing it out there

Are there any tickets left for either game?

The Hotel Commonwealth is nice, but expensive. I know a couple people who've stayed there, and they've liked it.

There's 3 left for May and 9 left for September. Ante up and they're yours!

payment for 2 in september is on the way....

I may last minute attend the September outing with a ticket a rooter has decided not to use, if they become available. But this rooter is getting hitched on the 8th (yey), so as much as I'd love to come, I can't commit yet (to the game).
